Amy Winehouse Biography


"The way it all gets mixed up though, that's just me trying to manifest what's in myself, in song," says Amy. "Its not a pretence, its just soul - stuff that has soul. It's like, I listened to Ray Charles for a year, just Ray Charles. He is such an inspiration. Musicians like that, and people like Roy Ayers, who'll go out and play a gig every night of his life still, because that's his life, they're the inspiration. I'd like to get to that point where I can just pick up my instrument and go out with this tonight, like pick up my trumpet and go."

With word around town about Amy's unique abilities getting louder she found herself a management company and started to work with producers. In London she worked with producer/writers Felix Howard and Jimmy Hogarth. Heading to the States to find collaborators she worked with Salaam Remi and Lauryn Hill /Mary J Blige engineer Commissioner Gordon.

The debut album from Amy has grown naturally out of her teenage passions, innate skills and on-going curiosity. There are beats that lope and grooves that swing. A Wurlitzer organ swings low on a sorrowful lament. Smiling horn samples pull up in to the sunshine. There are interludes where flute and acoustic guitars take over. Then vinyl static from a sampled beat leads into a lazy groove.
